As the clock ticked on, Molly felt a pang of regret. With a heavy sigh, she was about to close the webpage.
But just as her cursor hovered over the close button, Arabella chimed in, “I'll go with you.” Her words had everyone in the design department, including Molly, bug—eyed. “Ms. Bennett, are you?” The company’s big kahuna was going to be her assistant? Was she dreaming? “Ms. Bennett, you're going to be a sidekick for Molly? Isn't that a bit beneath you?” “People’ll laugh their heads off if they find out!” “Ms. Bennett, you're the big cheese of the company; Molly doesn’t deserve.” Arabella didn’t bat an eye. “Just sign up.” “Ms. Bennett.” Before Molly could say anything more, Arabella asked, “What, you think | can't cut the mustard? Not up to snuff? Or are you worried I'll drag down your rank?” “No. Of course, Molly didn't think any of those things; she just felt bad about having Ms. Bennett as her assistant.
“If you win, that's the best thank-you I could ask for.” Arabella wanted to help her because of her unique perspective on design and her genuine love for the industry. Despite having seen its darker side, she never gave up on her dreams and continued to give it her all.

“Ms. Bennett.” Molly's eyes welled up with tears of gratitude. After a moment's hesitation, she quickly filled in her information.
In the final minute before the deadline, Molly successfully submitted her application, with the whole department cheering her on.
“You got this!” “To be honest, | always thought you had a knack for design. Now with Ms. Bennett by your side, you can let loose and give it your alll” “Even if there's a hiccup, Ms. Bennett will have your back! If she can't fix it, no one can!” “You're one lucky duck to have Ms. Bennett as your right-hand woman.” “Go get ‘em, Molly! You can do it!” “You're going to make a name for yourself!” Molly had never felt such overwhelming support and well-wishes before. Gratefully, she said, “Thanks, everyone! I'll give it my alll” She then turned to Arabella with gratitude. Without her, she might have missed this opportunity.
“No need for thanks. I'll tutor you after work for the next few days,” Arabella replied nonchalantly. “But not tonight; | have plans.” “No problem, Ms. Bennett, whenever suits you.” Molly never imagined meeting someone who would support her in the field of design, let alone tutor her. She was truly lucky! After work.
Arabella texted Romeo McMillan, telling him not to pick her up for the next few days as she had some matters to take care of.
